Trump and Putin joint press conference ends with no deal

United States (US) President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded an initial face-to-face meeting in Alaska late Friday, with both parties delivering mutually inconclusive statements. Trump and Putin both delivered vague promises of “progress” on multiple fronts, but initial details remain light. Now, President Trump will be pivoting to hand-delivering Russia’s peace proposals on Ukraine to both the Ukrainian and European Union government bodies.
